We have been designing and manufacturing woodworking machinery since 1955.

The demands for our machines grew in the mid 60‘s, making it necessary for us to find a larger premises and to build a new factory.
The last production plant was completed in 1998 and with it, our flexibility has increased substantially.

Reliability and experience in the designing of machines were always criteria for our customers. So it came as no real surprise that other industrial branches i.e. synthetic components industry, electric industry as well as the automobile industry, took interest in our know-how and in our products. Today, HÖFER machines are known and used world-wide.
